What Our Parents Are Saying

We are so thankful for Imagination Station and all they have given our family. As first time parents, we were experiencing every possible emotion regarding parenthood. The staff at IMS made my transition from maternity leave to full time work as seamless as possible. Their daily communication via the app and at pickup/drop off is invaluable – we feel connected to our child, even when we cannot be with her during the day. The classroom teachers are experienced and offer such great support as our child transitions through different stages. It is evident they love their job and even more importantly, our child. There are not enough words to express how grateful we are to have our child in such wonderful care. Thank you for all you do, IMS!

Leaving your kids in the care of someone else can be a strange and scary experience for most parents, but the staff at Imagination Station will ease any fears you have! I can remember being a little bit nervous on the first day, but our three kids are always so well cared for and loved by their teachers that I never worry about their safety or happiness. The staff honestly treats each kiddo like their own. They quickly learn about your child and work with them to help them gain social and academic skills. The teachers do an amazing job with the curriculum and I am always impressed with how much our kids learn. I cannot imagine our kids going anywhere other than Imagination Station. I recommend them to anyone in the area. I do not think you will find a better facility for your kids

My children have never received better care than during their time at Imagination Station. The staff is caring, dedicated, and collaborative in their efforts to help children grow into their best selves. I love the family-feel of the center – all teachers know all of the children, we are always greeted with a smile, and feel a true sense of community within their walls. This sense of community and hands-on, interactive play has helped my children blossom in their speech, motor, emotional and social skills. It truly takes a village to help children develop and we are proud to be part of yours. Thank you for providing exceptional learning opportunities for children!
